About our Shop

We are a family owned and operated business based out of Portland Oregon that make engagement rings, earrings, pendants and unique fine jewelry. My Dad, Gary Swank, started his metalsmithing career at the age of 18 in 1973. He has had stores in Portland and the Oregon coast over the years and landed here in our permanent location in downtown Portland on Broadway in 2008. I, Chelsea, am his daughter and started learning the trade in 2010 and quickly fell in love. I have been here honing my skills ever since learning from my Dad and through exploration and experimentation. My brother Grayam Swank worked here as well for awhile and we had lots of fun learning from our Dad together. My Mom, Karen, now works here and does much of the outstanding metalwork that you see in our shop. We are truly a tiny business run by the Swank family. We are deeply in love with the process of making jewelry, being creative and standing out for exceptional craftsmanship. We are here to make unusual, strange, unique and esoteric jewels that are exceptionally special.

Testimonials

"I am extremely picky with my jewelery and had been taking forever to
decide on a wedding ring. I found Swank Metalsmithing and immediately
knew it was something special. After much deliberation, I finally pulled
the trigger on a custom ring by Chelsea and I'm so glad I did. It's
absolutely beautiful, one of a kind, and the quality is
fantastic...especially for the price!" - E

I didn’t actually want an engagement or wedding ring. I’d never seen one that I liked even remotely enough to want to wear 24/7. I don’t wear jewelry anyway, plus I’m a professional athlete, so the idea of constantly removing a ring and risking losing it made it hard to justify purchasing one.
And then, on my for-you-page, I came across your rings, and on your site I saw the shadow-box bat ring. I knew immediately that I had to have it.
I love that I am supporting a small, and local business (born and raised in PDX!); I love that I could make custom choices (metal color, stone color, lab grown diamonds - this was a non-negotiable when I thought about rings); I love that I have something unique and fantastical and a little bit strange that feels like ME!!
It is the ring I always hoped for, but didn’t even know existed. Your jewelry is what made me WANT to wear an engagement ring.
I cannot wait to show it off <3
